I'm the villain in the book

"Give it to the poor monk! Isn't it okay to give it?!"

......

[Golden cassock: protective gear, invulnerable to swords and guns, avoids water and fire, protects against all evil, 300 points]

A quarter of an hour later, Wei Changtian had obtained a golden-patterned cassock as he wished.

It just so happened that the inner armor I got from the Zhangfu at the beginning was almost unable to meet my needs, and this defensive treasure could be said to come at just the right time.

Mei Zizi put away the cassock, and the trip to the Buddha Lotus Temple was successfully concluded.

Oh, and one more piggybacking thing.

"Miss You..."

Outside the house, Hui An is apologizing "sincerely" to You Jia.

"Jingyuan is an abandoned monk from my Buddhist school. Knowing that he practiced evil methods, the poor monk should have killed him as soon as possible. I never thought that he would make such a big mistake because of a momentary soft-heartedness."

"The poor monk is here to apologize to the girl, and I hope the girl can't be blamed..."

"..."

The breeze is blowing, and the golden sun is in the head.

Looking at Hui An who humbly apologized to herself, You Jia turned her eyes to Wei Changtian again, and couldn't help being moved.

In fact, she didn't resent Jingyuan at all, let alone Hui'an.

but......

Ning Yongnian took the initiative to send himself into the mouth of the "tiger", but the young master made a big fuss at the Folian Temple because of himself, just to ask for an explanation.

But You Jia once again felt what it was like to be valued by others, and naturally became more devoted to Wei Changtian.

"Abbot Hui'an, you don't have to be like this..."

"Since the grievances between the two families have been resolved, let's just let this matter go."

The grievances have been resolved...

Hui'an got angry again when she heard the words, but she nodded her head vigorously.

"Amitabha, what the girl said is..."

"All right."

On the other side, Wei Changtian saw that the two of them were more or less polite, so he was about to slap his ass and leave.

"Abbot, since Miss You has forgiven you, then we won't bother you any more, and we will meet again by fate."

"Um......"

Looking at the triumphant Wei Changtian, the aggrieved Huian wanted to take advantage of the verbal advantage, but was afraid that the words would be too profound for the former to understand, so he only uttered one sentence after holding back for a long time.

"Young Master Wei, good and evil will be repaid, good and evil will be repaid, and good and bad will come and go, there is a destiny in the dark... I hope you can do it yourself."

"Hahahaha!"

Wei Changtian burst out laughing, and only waved his hands in the face of Hui'an's "curse".

"Abbot, it's all about human effort."

......

Another quarter of an hour.

Buddha Lotus Temple, Daxiong Palace.

Two figures, one big and one small, bowed respectfully to the last Buddha statue three times.

"Mom, I'm hungry..."

I don't know how many times the little boy begged like this, but the woman still insisted and threw the last three copper coins in the purse into the merit box.

"Bless the Buddha, bless the Buddha..."

The woman clasped her hands reverently and chanted for a long time, then picked up the bamboo basket at hand and prepared to go down the mountain and go home.

But right now.

"This, this is..."

The finger-sized piece of silver shone in the sunlight. The woman tremblingly picked up the piece of silver. After a long pause, she suddenly excitedly pulled the little boy to kneel down in front of the Buddha statue again.

"The Buddha is manifested, the Buddha is manifested!"

Chapter 249 Ning Yongnian's Intuition

After staying in Longzhou City for one day, Wei Changtian and his party continued on their way back to Shuzhou the next morning.

Nothing happened on the first day, but when everyone rushed to Lingzhou the next day, they heard the news that the Dafeng army was approaching Yuanzhou.

Such a situation is undoubtedly very unfavorable to the Daning court, but it has nothing to do with Wei Changtian...at least for the time being.

Right now, he only cares about how to destroy the Liu family.

As for Ning Yongnian...

"Young master, the emperor has returned to Beijing."

On the carriage, Chu Xianping put away the "code book" and truthfully reported the news from the same boat meeting: "It came back last night, but it didn't go to court today, and only a few people in the court knew about it."

"Huh? Back to Beijing?"

Wei Changtian was taken aback, wondering why Ning Yongnian would return to the capital at this juncture.

The battle of Jizhou has just begun, and Yuanzhou has encountered foreign enemies again, and it may start at any time.

At such a time, Ning Yongnian returned to the capital from the front line, which only shows that there is a more important matter waiting for him to deal with in the capital.

What will it be?

Wei Changtian and Chu Xianping looked at each other, and after thinking for a while, the same idea popped up in their minds.

"Send an order to the fellow shipmates to be more vigilant. Unless there is particularly important information in the last five days, they are not allowed to communicate with other people!"

Wei Changtian frowned and said, "Especially Ning Wenyu, if nothing happens... Ning Yongnian will definitely test him."

"He is our most prestigious secret agent in the palace, it is best to keep him."

"But if you really can't keep it..."

"..."

Wei Changtian suddenly lowered his voice and whispered a few words.

Chu Xianping's expression changed slightly when he heard the words, and he nodded immediately.

"Young master, I understand, I will send the order."

......

......

that night.

Imperial Palace, Shiqu Pavilion.

Standing next to the carved stone pillars are two rows of warriors in black with swords. They are the Hua Lingwei who have been incorporated into the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

And in front of the table at the end of the stone pillar, Ning Yongnian looked at the four people in front of him with an extremely gloomy expression.

The First Prince, Ning Wenjun.

The second prince, Ning Wenyu.

General Zhen Guo, Han Zhao.

Taifu, Pu Siyi.

Except for Xiang Shiyuan, Minister of the Ministry of War, who had died in the prison, these four people were the only ones who knew about the important information.

In fact, Ning Yongnian only suspected Xiang Shiyuan from the beginning to the end, and he chose to tell the information to five people at the same time to avoid Xiang Shiyuan's suspicion.

Yes, Xiang Shiyuan did not have doubts in the end, and he was indeed caught out by himself.

But the plan to take Jizhou City directly failed.

Then this means that among these four people there is a secret agent...

The two are his sons, one is a famous general who has assisted the two emperors of Daning, and the other is his teacher.

Looking across everyone's faces, Ning Yongnian really couldn't believe that one of these four people would betray him and the Ning family.

But that's what it is.

Thinking of Xu Chengwen who was hung high above the city wall by Wei Yanyu, Ning Yongnian took a deep breath, his eyes unconsciously lingered on Ning Wenjun and Ning Wenyu for a while, and then slowly said:

"You all know about Jizhou."

"The officers and men of Daning are still fighting the rebels on the front line, but I chose to return to Beijing at this time."

"You must have already guessed the reason...I want to hear what you think."

"Let's talk about it."

"..."

After Ning Yongnian finished speaking, Shiqu Pavilion fell into a brief silence.

Until Pu Siyi, who is both a cabinet scholar and a grand tutor, coughed dryly, and answered first:

"Cough, Your Majesty."

"The old minister feels that this matter cannot be judged rashly."

"The reason why Xu Chengwen was exposed may be because this son himself acted carelessly."

"As for whether someone tipped off the news in advance..."

"The old minister believes in the two highnesses, the general, and even more in his loyalty to the emperor, and he will never do such a thing of self-defeating!"

Pu Siyi was originally a well-known good man in the court, so these few words would not offend anyone.

Of course, what he said was not unreasonable, after all, Xu Chengwen might have accidentally exposed himself.

It's just that Ning Yongnian didn't think so, he knew in his heart that someone must have leaked the secret.

The reason for such a judgment is not that he has any key evidence, but it is just a feeling.

But Ning Yongnian was extremely sure about this feeling.

"Teacher, you can't say that."

Shaking his head, Ning Yongnian sighed softly.

"The Xiang family has assisted my Ning family for five generations, but Xiang Shiyuan is still rebellious?"

"Besides, Xu Chengwen, this kid is not some stupid person, he is sure that if he is a little careless, he will end up decapitated."

"I don't think he's going to slip up on something so life-threatening."

"General Han..."

Ning Yongnian paused, then looked at Han Zhao again.

"You are a general who leads troops to fight, you should know this truth best."

"..."

Han Zhao, who was suddenly caught by the cue, was taken aback, knowing that Ning Yongnian wanted to speak for himself.

He pondered for a moment, then clasped his fists and replied in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the last general is just a rough man who doesn't understand any profound truths, is clumsy in speech and tongue, let alone how to defend himself."

"The minister only knows one sentence."

"The father wants the son to die, the son has to die; the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die."

"Even if someone really leaked the news about the Jizhou incident, then this person is by no means the last general."

"I hope the emperor will see clearly!"

"..."

Unlike Pu Siyi, Han Zhao followed the open and aboveboard route.
